Welcome to FACES
The FACES Framework
TM
Created by Dr. Olatunji through decades of experience in the field, the FACES Framework is a practical, evidence-based approach to improving educational outcomes. The framework consists of five elements that help educators cultivate learning environments where students thrive. Here are the five elements of the FACES Framework:
FUN
Use activities that make learning enjoyable.
AFFIRMATION
Validate the learner.
CHALLENGE
Provide supportive relationships and rigor.
EXPRESSION
Cultivate autonomy and agency.
SUCCESS
Teach personal prosperity principles.
Just as a magnifying glass sparks a fire by bending the sun’s rays toward a single focal point, the framework ignites engagement through the synergy of these five elements.
FACES thus enables students to see and feel themselves at the center of the learning process. Ultimately, they experience a sense of empowerment—becoming skillful as well as willful to achieve their full potential through self-actualization.
Because it aids educators in designing the conditions that promote positive student performance and personal development, FACES also enhances school culture and climate.
